Mice!
13 October 2007 — butchjaxWe have mice. They are cute and adorable little girls, name Rhett and Scarlett. Carrie just got so happy seeing them all at Petsmart, and when we realized we could get all the supplies and the mice for $35 or less, how could I say no? Plus, I told her that if she would make this final step to truly give up smoking for her sake, rather than for everyone else, she could totally afford them. So, we got two mice, a cage that comes with a wheel, the water thing, a platform and ramp, and a food dish (which wasn’t in the box), their food, bedding and an exercise ball for less than $40. They are fun to watch, haven’t bitten us yet, and even the cats are behaving with them.
I’ll take pictures at some point, but I’d rather let them chill out for a while. They really like the exercise wheel, and monkey is having fun watching them. It’s a win win situation so far!
What’s funny is we also went to gamestop to trade in video games. Ended up with $163 in store credit, so we bought a few things. But, the mice are more fun than the video games. lol However, we did get a charging station for the wii remotes, so we save on batteries. We also got wii play, which has a shooting game, table tennis, pool, all sorts of fun. :-) And we got the strat guide for zelda and the phantom hourglass, which we’re slowly playing. Hehe
Well now that there is entertainment, I better get to work. Lots to do! I’ll be blogging later on ascensions. But work and supper come first.

Hmmm, two pet cats…and two pet mice. Sounds scrumptious…for the cats.

Monkey has been really good about them. They aren’t afraid of him at all, just sniffed each other and were fine. He tried to put his paw up once to feel them out, and we told him know. he hasn’t done it since.
Blas on the other hand, scares them a bit more. She is more of a hunter. But, just like with the fish, we just keep an eye on her, enforce that she can’t hurt them, and she’ll grow bored soon. But, for the first few days we’re keeping them on carrie’s table by the bed so we can keep an eye on them and the cats. So far, so good! Though we did have to remove their wheel last night as it’s far too loud for sleeping. So Carrie made it a house with a tunnel in. We used a toilet paper roll for the tunnel. Lol it worked.
